Assassin's Creed II is a classic for a reason! Renaissance Italy is a blast to explore, the parkour is way smoother than the first game, and Ezio's story of revenge is super satisfying. Combat gets a bit repetitive and sometimes the missions are kinda basic, but the scale and ambition were huge for its time. It shows its age a little now, especially graphically, but if you want to experience where the series really took off, this is still a must-play for any Assassin's Creed fan.
